Rapper 50 Cent Releasing Fitness Book

Granted, he’s in great shape. But for some reason when I think eating right, or getting into shape, or writing a book…I do not think 50 Cent. I, of course, am wrong. It seems that Mr. Curtis James Jackson III is about to do all of that. Perhaps since the discontinuation of this Formula 50 Grape VitaminWater, he wants to get back into the food/drink game. I mean, the guy is huge and ripped, so…

50 Cent has rapped about getting rich. Now he’s focusing on getting fit.

The hip-hop star is putting out a fitness book that’s set to be published in January 2013 by Avery Books. Titled “Formula 50: A 6-Week Total Body Transformation Plan,” the book will tout metabolic resistance training as the key to getting in shape. It will also include a nutrition guide.

The buff rapper says he wants to help people “make positive changes and take charge of their overall health.”

“Formula 50” will be the latest credit for 50 Cent as an author. He recently released the teen novel “Playground” and also wrote “Pieces to Weight, The 50th Law.”

The rapper’s latest book will be co-written by Jeff O’Connell, editor-in-chief of Bodybuilding.com.
